Lonely Souljaz Link With UK Rapper Oopsy on New Track Ahead of Deluxe Album
The Australian collective Lonely Souljaz have released a new track and accompanying visual featuring UK rapper oopsy. Produced by DON! and shot by MP4Oscar, the release arrives as a fully original track, not a visual for previously released material, and marks the first time the group has brought in an international feature during their current run.
The core trio of Cult Shotta, Jords, and 4orttune appear alongside oopsy, with the release landing ahead of a forthcoming Lonely Souljaz deluxe album.
DON! Reworks “Sunset Lover” with his own sound
DON! builds the track around a sample from Petit Biscuit’s 2017 release “Sunset Lover,” a French electronic record that accumulated global streaming traction through its melodic, atmospheric production. Here, DON! draws on the original’s guitar and piano elements, repositioning them inside a sound that leans toward jerk and Australian rage influences.
The result is noticeably quieter in texture than much of DON!’s previous work. The synths are more muted and pad-driven, sitting in deliberate contrast to the harder-edged production he is typically associated with. It is a tonal shift, but one that still maintains the internal logic his beats are known for.
Oopsy’s Verse Adds Specificity, Not Just Contrast
The track follows a structure that Lonely Souljaz listeners will recognise. Cult Shotta sets the tone, Jords reinforces it, and 4orttune brings a distinct cadence and energy before oopsy enters.
What distinguishes oopsy’s contribution is less about contrast and more about specificity. His verse includes a direct reference to “eetswa,” Australian slang with roots in Melbourne’s street and music scenes. Delivered by a British rapper, it lands as culturally informed rather than incidental.
It is the kind of detail that tends to register with the audiences these artists are actually making music for. It gives the collaboration a grounding that shared aesthetic alone would not achieve.
MP4Oscar Matches the Track’s Restraint
Shot and directed by MP4Oscar, the video features all four artists on screen and marks the return of the Lonely Souljaz mascot head. Cult Shotta opens with a brief WikiHow shot, a small but characteristic detail that aligns with the group’s established visual language.
The pacing mirrors the track’s tone. It avoids the fast-cut, effects-heavy approach common across much of the current Australian rap visual landscape. The result is a more restrained visual that sits comfortably alongside the softer sonic register of the release.
Australian and UK Underground Scenes Continue to Align
Lonely Souljaz have spent the past several years building a catalogue and audience from a position that resists mainstream formatting. The decision to feature oopsy, whose profile sits in a comparable underground space in the UK, reads as a collaboration driven by alignment rather than industry positioning.
The “eetswa” reference is notable in that context. Australian slang at that level of specificity does not appear in UK rap by accident. Its inclusion points to a level of cross-cultural engagement between underground scenes that has been developing quietly and is now beginning to surface more clearly in released music.
For the Australian hip hop and RnB landscape, that kind of exchange carries weight. It suggests the local underground is being followed closely enough by international peers to influence what they are actually writing.
The release arrives ahead of a Lonely Souljaz deluxe album, though details have not yet been confirmed publicly. Whether this track sits within that project or remains a standalone release, its tone and collaborative scope offer a clear indication of where the group is heading.
The inclusion of oopsy raises a broader question around what else may have been recorded during this period. For now, the run continues.
